SURVEY TO GATHER VIEWS OF THOSE 50+ ABOUT AGING, COMMUNITY
INVOLVEMENT AND THE ECONOMY

In response to the World Economic Forum report on aging, a statewide survey will prepare baseline information on the involvement of older adults. Those age 50 and older will share their views and opinions about community involvement as a way of staying active and independent.

Please share the link with colleagues, friends, neighbors and relatives in Illinois and ask them to complete the survey.

The survey is sponsored by Generations Serving Generations, a project with the National Governors Association and the Department on Aging that promotes the involvement of older generations in service, learning and work. The survey is being conducted by the Serve Illinois Commission and Continuance Magazine, SIU School of Law.
